Choengron Rimpadee, Commander of Immigration Division 2, revealed the swift action taken on January 22, by Thai immigration authorities following an alert from Interpol. The alert concerned two Chinese nationals, Mr. Yau and Mr. Shimeobi, who were accused of a violent crime resulting in serious injury and death in Hong Kong earlier that day. Under the direction of Pol. Lt. Gen. Phanumas Boonyalak, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, and Pol. Maj. Gen. Thanit Thaiwatcharamas, Deputy Commissioner of Immigration, an immediate operation was launched to track and apprehend the suspects. The investigation was led by Pol. Col. Nattakit Meesuk, Superintendent of the Immigration Suppression Division 2, with support from Pol. Capt. Kamolthip Khemnak. The suspects entered Thailand via Suvarnabhumi Airport on Cathay Pacific flight CX701, landing at approximately 18:40 on January 22. Officers from the investigative team moved swiftly, apprehending Mr. Yau and Mr. Shimeobi at the arrival gate. Following their arrest, the suspects were interviewed, and their activities were further scrutinised in collaboration with immigration officials. The suspects were subsequently denied entry into Thailand under the Immigration Act of 1979 due to their status as prohibited persons. They were held in the detention room at Suvarnabhumi Airport while awaiting deportation. Authorities coordinated with Hong Kong police, who confirmed they would take custody of the fugitives and proceed with legal action. On January 23, Hong Kong law enforcement officers arrived in Bangkok and escorted the suspects back to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific flight CX618 at 13:05. The swift collaboration between Thai immigration authorities and international law enforcement demonstrates Thailand’s commitment to upholding global security measures and ensuring its borders are not used as a haven for fugitives. -- 2025-01-24 -

Thailand Introduces Online TM6 as Tourism Fee Faces Delays
Picture courtesy: Facebook TAT news In a significant move poised to streamline the entry process for visitors, Thailand is set to launch an online TM6 immigration form from May 1. This development arises as the Ministry of Tourism and Sports gears up to promote the new digital system, which is expected to replace the traditional paper-based forms previously suspended by the cabinet in April 2024. However, the much-discussed 300-baht tourism fee may see delays, amid governmental hesitance to enforce it this year. The digital TM6 form is part of Thailand's efforts to enhance the visitor experience and bolster tourist tracking for safety, amid ongoing concerns about the country serving as a conduit for illicit activities. Natthriya Thaweevong, permanent secretary of the ministry, highlighted that this online system could mitigate safety concerns by improving tourist oversight. In preparation for this change, the ministry has engaged the Immigration Bureau to showcase the online system to its staff, ensuring a smooth transition and understanding across departments. Additionally, a pivotal meeting is slated for January 31, bringing together key stakeholders, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tourism Authority of Thailand, airlines, and the hospitality sector. The goal is to familiarise these parties with the new online form and facilitate communication with arriving foreigners. Mongkon Wimonrat, deputy permanent secretary, emphasised the government’s focus on the digital TM6 to prevent confusion, before considering other entry screening measures. The online system will be mandatory for all foreign arrivals, whether they enter by air, land, or sea, and registration will be free of charge. Anticipation surrounds the cabinet's expected approval next month, which will give concerned parties ample time to prepare. However, as noted by an anonymous insider from the ministry, the introduction of the online TM6 might overshadow the implementation of the proposed tourism fee, indicating a probable postponement. Given the complexities of smoothly integrating the TM6 system and the country's current entanglements with security issues, there is a belief that this is not the optimal moment to introduce additional fees or entry requirements. The government appears to prioritise ensuring the new process runs without hitches before revisiting the proposed tourism fee and potentially other entry measures similar to an electronic travel authorisation, which has found success in other regions. This transition marks a pivotal step in Thailand's efforts to modernise its immigration processes, aiming to offer a seamless experience for international visitors while maintaining robust security measures, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-01-24 -
